Should I be able to jog the axes with the drive not enabled through LinuxCNC with a 7i33? I have not had any success in being able to control movement, speed, or distance either in continuous or in step increments. It moves in the correct direction, but only stops when it exceeds following error. I tried countless PID settings. I thought that I could cheat, and enable the servo drives using the original control. I did not wire what looks to be 5V drive enable on the 7i33. Is this causing my trouble? How can I determine what enables the servo drives on the old control? I have located a relay that switches when I enter a run or position command on the old control. I have schematics, but I'm not good interpreting them.
